You should leave them up.  They were pretty good and others will enjoy 
looking at them.

By the way, I don't know much about flash either.  I am much more used 
to hot lights for video and film.  When we want to knock down the level 
of a light we put a scrim or some diffusion in front of it, or back it off.

Frankly hot lights are easier for me.  You can see what you are doing.
