Halogen downlighter falling out of ceiling!

One of my downlighters is falling out of the plasterboard - I think the plaster crumbles away each time the bulb is changed. How can I repair it - I guess it would have to be something heat resistant - I can't see how I could replaster it as the plaster will just fall out! Any suggestions?
Thanks

if you're not up to a bit of plastering yourself Jo.............you'd have to get someone in to patch the hole with new board and refit the light.........or, move the light to a new location.

A DIY solution..although it might look a bit "chunky".......would be to cut a circle of MDF.........a bit bigger than the light..........cut, and fit the light to this, then screw the whole thing over the existing hole.

Thats a thought - thank you, I may well do the latter.
