Hi,
When I turn off the opacity , only reflections stays in place, the luminousity disapear
Any idea to keep both luminousity and reflections without seeing the light source?

I think you would need to use the render passes to do this (either merge the diffuse, reflection, etc layers excluding the emitter layer), or a render layer (turn the Layer Reflections pass) and merge the passes in Gimp/Photoshop/etc.

Or you could use HDR Light Studio and create a HDR texturemap containing your emitters and then render with the alpha channel enabled.
