Default Ceiling holes for recessed lighting cut too big!

The lights now pass through the holes instead of just covering them.

Does anybody have a solution (other than repositioning the lights
somewhere else and filling the holes)?

It strikes me that this must have happened many times before, so
perhaps somebody has invented some sort of hole reducer that you can
press into the hole or something...

Any ideas gratefully received!


Sack the electrician :-)


well you should do that on a regular basis anyway.
