Where can I replace the vanity light fixture in my bathroom?

I would like to replace the vanity light fixture in my bathroom, but am having trouble finding one that mounts on the ceiling. I’ve looked at all the usual places…Lowe’s, Menard’s, Home Depot, etc., and online. It has to be ceiling mounted since I don’t want to leave a hole to repair in the ceiling or make a new one in the wall. Does anyone know of a good online site where they sell ceiling-mount fixtures?
I have found a few, but they are styled more appropriately for a dining area or such, not a bathroom.
Look throughout the lighting store/department, not just the vanity-bathroom section. Those are almost exclusively wall-based. Consider the style of your bathroom and look at other types of fixtures not traditionally associated with a bath. For example, I’ve had clients put chandeliers in formal baths. Other folks have used schoolhouse style pendants for arts & crafts-inspired bathrooms. Let your room’s overall look be your guide. If the ceiling light will be your sole source of illumination for the bathroom, be sure that it’s bright enough for applying make-up, shaving and the like. Consider a dimmer switch if you want softer options for more relaxing times, like taking a bubble bath.
