    Glare-Reducing Polarized Light Filters

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Light Filters. Glare-Reducing Polarized Light Filters.
    Make it easier to capture barcodes and labels on glossy packaging under bright lighting. These filters reduce glare, helping your scanner or camera pick up every detail. Also known as polarized lighting gels, they work by filtering out light coming from an angle. Because they only slightly darken what passes through, they won’t distort color. Cut them to size with scissors or a utility knife, then mount them over your lens.
