the most common form of downlighting from a soffet is done using pvc downlighters. the come in 3 main colours, black,whire and brown.
they are available in gu-10 and low voltage and are available in tilt so you can angle the light down if on a sloped eaves.
ive seen in some instnces where people have used ip rater downlight fittings and tbh they dont really stand up to the elements aswell as the pvc type.
however the pvc type are not sealed so they can allow air to pass by them into the void, how important that is i dont know, as far as i know air circulating above the soffet is quite normal as they are usually vented anyway.
