Is there a way to achieve/improve an effect of hot air distortion in EEVEE Blender without reflections?

Question

I've seen this post: How to create an air distortion/blur effect in eevee?

I've created just a plane object and assigned the following material to it. My settings and Node Setup are in some sense similar to the post above, but in my scene I move camera in 3D I have light sources etc At some angles as shown in this example picture I see the reflections from the light source. Is this correctable in any way? I only need the distortion...

Have an object with noise material, use compositor to displace by the noise? — Markus von Broady, Feb 17 '23 at 15:52
Thank you! This is a good suggestion. I accepted the answer below, but I think leaving Light specular and using Refraction BSDF should actually be better for most use cases. — Fedor Petrov, Feb 17 '23 at 16:59

Turn Specular to 0 in the light settings panel.
