I vote for turning them off at night. THe stress of off/on is a little harmful, so don't turn it off, then back on an hour later, etc, but turning them off for 4-5 hours or overnight is a good idea. The electricy consumption will go down if you turn them off overnight, along with heat.

I'm certainly no engineer and really have no scientific basis on which to make this argument, but don't you answer your own question? Is the reflected signal "shifted" at all from the act of being reflected? If so, wouldn't it then be easy for the detector to discriminate between reflections and direct sources?
