Yes, keep the reflectors on. Keep in mind though that they also radiate heat with reflector on. So to find out how close you can put them to the tops of your plants, do the back if hand method. (where you hold the back of your hand close to the bulb to see how close you can have your plant before it's too hot, hold hand there for at least thirty seconds to get best indication)....
