my ceiling spotlight keeps falling out!?

I have just bought a new house full of spotlights, but one keeps dropping down (I think the hole is a little too big) how can I fix this

I'm having the same problem, what I did was selotape the spotlight in and then silicone half of it until it sets, then I removed the selotape and siliconed the rest. Not ideal but it works.

If the hole is not perfectly circular try rotating the fitting to see if it can be supported better elsewhere.
Otherwise you could glue a small piece of plasterboard to the inside of the aperture.
