Orbit help

[SCU33ZE]

HI all
I got a new orbit fixture from current usa today.

I would like to ask if those little rubber bands that come on the lamp holders are supposed to be there or are just for shipping safety?

I dont want to find the melted....

Those should be heat resistant silicon bands that are designed to stay there while the lights are running. I've got a Coralife PC unit and they say specificaly in the instructions to leave the bands in place:
