Does anyone know of any tools/tricks to make a downlight hole larger neatly and quickly? Using a larger cutter just leaves a mess!

Make a template with ply, plasterboard or something similar the size of your new hole, hold it firmly over the existing hole, (it's better if you have another pair of hands for this) and drill.
a pad saw
If you're lucky you'll have the sort of holesaw mandrel that has enough thread to take two blades, if so then fitting the original sized blade inside the new one allows it to act like a pilot drill would, stopping the new blade from careering across the ceiling.

Can't believe i've never been shown this or thought of it myself, great idea.
Is there a gadget for making the holes smaller
