A non-flickering (non-blinking) daylight effect
I think "flickering" is what this text is meaning with "destellos".
Flickering (also blinking) is an undesirable effect of many gas lamps:

Comment: "Thank you very much to both of you, I think they do indeed mean "anti-flickering" (or flashing/blinking/..)with "destellos" here. Many Thanks and have a good day! Hanna "

without glare
As glare, being an uncomfortably bright light or reflection of light, is not something to be wished.
For example:
Light. Without Glare. You should have a bright home or office interior, without annoying glare.
