Best not to have them at all.
I assume you do want them to light up the room(s)?
They are actually deliberately designed to be useless at doing that.

These should do the trick and look nice.

That's not a fair comment BAS. They are designed to look good in today's low ceilings, which are too low for good hanging lights.
A typical sitting room would need four of the 2 X 12W plc lights to provide the same light in the room as a 100W lamp on the end of a bit of flex. True, it's a bit inefficient, but then it looks good.
Don't know what square 'invisible' downlights are. Have only fitted these once, they required a circular hole in the ceiling, which would allow them to be changed for more conventional ones. The lamps were square, and were very prone to exploding.
As a matter of interest, if you don't know what they are, how have you managed to fit them, even if only once?
If you mean the glass enevelope was square, that hardly surprises me - there must be some nasty stresses in the corners of a square glass object which gets heated up; it's not only for convenience that lamps/light bubs are/were made round!
Kind Regards, John.

Because I don't know where this term 'invisible' comes from.
The ones I fitted did not seem invisible.
What would be the point of fitting invisible lights - assuming you could find them?
No, that's not what they are designed for.
They are actually deliberately designed to be useless at providing general room illumination.
