Polarizing Film

  • Reduces glare from light reflected off of specular surfaces
  • When used in pairs, placing one piece over another and rotating one against the other, a “light valve” or variable neutral density filter is created.
  • Check stress patterns in transparent glass and plastic
  • Best results are achieved when polarizing film is used over the light source in conjunction with a polarizing filter over the camera lens
  • Can be cut, drilled and formed to fit almost any type of lighting equipment
  • Maximum usable width is 16.5 inches (420mm)
