This 200 x 200 x 0.3mm Polarizing Film for Lighting from B+W can be positioned over an LED light source or flash system. Due to the amount of the heat generated, it may also be used with repro lamps to a limited extent. The polarizing film is useful for preventing reflections or glare from occurring in an image or scene as output from a light source interacts with reflective materials around it. When placed between a light source and a transparent or translucent object, the polarizing film can help show the object's photoelasticity.

Polarizing film sheet is a good size and arrived without any blemishes. Large enough to fit both a studio strobe or to use for several portable flashes if cut to size.

I'm using a 6" FeelWorld LUT6 monitor bounced off an Ikan Homestream teleprompter. I'm noticing that if the monitor has light colors on it, there is a visible wash-out effect on the image from the Z6 mirrorless camera. I'm wondering if laying a sheet of polarized film, turned to the correct orientation, would mitigate or eliminate what I assume is a spill of light off axis through the beamsplitter glass and then across the lens front element?
I believe you need a polarizer filter on you camera lens first and then put a polarizing gel on you monitor that should help alleviate these issues.

Will the polarization effect be diminished if I use these films on a light inside a soft box?
Yes, the B+W Polarizing Film for Lighting (200 x 200 x 0.3 mm) polarization is ideal without a softbox. You need to keep the flash harsh for the optimal effect.

Do I need to peel a protective film layer on this before using? I noticed the surface has bubbles all over.
Yes you will want to remove the protective layer of film.

What's the functional difference between the 0.3mm and 0.8mm versions? I'll be using this on a 600w Elinchrom strobe.
The thicker one is sort of like card stock. The thin one is like a sheet of paper. One is better when you need a slightly more rigid filter, the other is preferred when you need it to be more flexible.
