Can be a frustrating a process feeding cables through ceiling voids from below, using the method you are going to try is pot luck.
Not knocking it, I to would give it a try and hope I hit the Jackpot straight away.
The problem is there could be anything within them voids, other cables, pipes, nogins, debris from other work carried out. To name a few!
As Eric has said there are other jointing methods, but they will need some specialist tools. That is why I suggest the maintance free joint box, it complys to the regs and is allowed within areas that have limited or no access.
I'd cut a hole in the ceiling to make this joint where the light is currently located, then patch it up after you have carried out the installation of circuit. surely better than having a joint box fixed to ceiling
If you need help with patch, I can do that.
