Flare
+ Not to start a flare-war here(!)... but, the only reason I
suggested using a polarizer was the great success I had using one, with film, taking pictures of lit lightbulbs. I was able to get very detailed picture of printing on top of lit bulb, instead of the usual flared light effect from a bright light in frame.

Different kind of "flare" :^) What you appear to be referring to is overexposure of and around an intense light source. "Lens Flare" refers to the spots & sundogs that are created on the sensor/film/image which are a result of light bouncing around inside the lens (very simplistically), which usually happens when shooting into, or nearly into, a bright light source. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lens_flare shows some examples. Frankly, Id have to say, if you meter for the brightest light, the picture will be fine, polarizer or no.
