striking feature Explanation: since tbis is about a light, otherwise I would say key feature as something different that strong points |

The clincher: Explanation: Bear with me... in this context, guizzo clearly means something like highlight, focal point, creative spark etc. but as it follows 'punti forti', I would translate is as 'the clincher', the amazing added extra that really marks the quality and creativity of the interior design project. I would have 'punti forti' as 'highlights' and 'il guizzo' as 'the clincher' |

stand-out feature Explanation: "Guizzo" here refers to the key attention-grabbing "bell or whistle" in the product specs so you need a fairly concrete concept ("flash of genius" is a bit too abstract). "Clincher" is OK, too. |
