[QUOTE="MikeJhn, post: 548395, member: 33738"] The existing ceiling light will have a penetration through the plasterboard ceiling, this will have to be opened up to get a no maintenance junction box into the ceiling void and made good, once the hole has been opened it will be possible to feel around with a rod of some kind to locate the joist above, if the joists run down the room then you don't have a problem and can fit the lights in between the joist, if the joists are across the width of the room, you can locate the downlight close to a joist and possibly drill through them to run a cable, because of the narrow width of the room drilling through the joist should not cause a structural problem.
