Draft from ceiling lights - is this normal?

Yorky · 2007-02-04 23:30:55

When fixing a light fitting today, I noticed a cold draught from the hole in the ceiling cavity where the electric cables come through. Is this normal and where would it be coming from? It's a new house.

What kind of light was it? Downlighter? Was the attic above it?
