Use LED versions.
Very cool running and low voltage so you can just chuck the wires olong the inside of the soffit.

You could use 2D fittings.
They give plenty light

LED Lamps in a normal external 12V M250 fitting. You can buy ones specifically for LED, rather than buying the LED driver. They are cheap enough.

Try Wholesale Fittings (WF Electrical), in most industrial estates. OR RS components for a detailed spec.

Aurora make good quality gear, and if your using them in the soffit, then they wont get wet, so no need to go IP65.
