Ceiling holes for recessed lighting cut too big!

Thus spake timfel ) unto the assembled multitudes:

Our electrician has accidentally cut all the ceiling holes for some
halogen downlights about 6mm 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)?

I don't see why it should be your problem to fix. It's the electrician's
incompetence that has caused this, so he should either fix it himself or
you should get someone else in to repair or replace the ceiling and
charge/sue the electrician for the cost of the work. You have the right to
do this, after all.

Maybe *he's* the electrician; so that this is a bit like the guy who
goes to the doctor and says that he has a "friend with a discharge".
