The downside of using a residential fixture is that many have Edison bases for the bulbs -- and 12 volt bulbs in that base size are higher wattage typically. If the fixture has candelabra bases you can get LED lamps in most cases (both 12 volt and 110 volt -- so be sure you get the right ones.)
The fixture in the dining area of my diesel coach is actually a chandelier with 12 volt bulbs with T series bases...the bent wire leads that slip into the socket. These bulbs are widely available in incandescent, halogen and LED so your choices are nearly unlimited.
Pre-wired and fixed lamp LED fixtures made for 12 volts are another possibility and may give more 'decor' flexibility over typical RV fixtures.
Is there a specific design constraint you are working within regarding this fixture.
