I added on to my house with a 16 x 32 room. This room has a porch built all the way around it with a roof over the porch. I installed can lights in the ceiling of this room. The ceiling follows the 2 x 12 rafters to give it a vaulted effect. The problem is that I get a very bad draft down through the lights because of them being just off the porch. At the present I do not have trim rings on the lights because the ceiling isn’t complete. What can I do to stop the draft?
