This work shows the lighting results obtained from applying anidolic lighting systems in a room for agamic propagation of plants. We evaluated the distribution of illuminance levels inside the room at three different heights and hours, with and without an added ceiling diffuser, under clear and overcast sky conditions. We estimate that it will be possible to achieve a lighting-destined energy saving from 20% to 94%. The use of an anidolic system in applications of agamic production of plants could lead to an important saving of the electrical energy used every day for artificial lighting systems.
