You can achieve the same with chunks of expanded polystyrene
pushed into the overlap midway betwen joists. Much cheaper,
but doesn't solve the underlying problem of reducing the
amount of moisture vapour getting into the loft.

Fire hoods on downlighters are a start, but even they are not
a vapour barrier so you might want to make up your own downlighter
covers out of something fermacell or other class O board material
and cover them with turkey foil too.
