What does 'night-time shutoff' or 'light sensor' mean?
Most cuckoo clocks (either mechanical or battery powered) come with 'night-time shutoff' in either a manual or 'light sensor' variety. This just means that both varieties enable you to control when the clock makes sounds.
Mechanical cuckoo clocks have a manual 'night-time shutoff' which are usually a lever with 2 positions - sound on or sound off.
Battery powered cuckoo clocks usually come with an automatic 'night-time shutoff' otherwise known as a light sensor which detects light levels and disables sound when the lights are off or it is very dark. While some include volume levels as well as sound on/off positions, some models also include an option to stop the sound between the hours of 9:00pm and 8:00am.

'Dandy' Cuckoo Clock (White) by Progetti
Excite the Hipster in you with the 'Dandy' Cuckoo Clock by Italian design leaders Progetti, a playful vintage and dandy-inspired modern cuckoo clock.
A throwback to the type of mustache worn in London in the 19th century by distinct, elegant and intellectual gentlemen. The ‘handlebar’ moustache was attributed to the typical London 'Dandies' and distinguished their physical appearance. Moustaches nowadays are a symbol of modern dandies and beloved hipsters world-wide and thanks to this modern Progetti cuckoo clock, you can now add an ironic touch to any room or office. Crafted out of fine wood and available in two colours - white or black - the 'Dandy' cuckoo clock can be either hung as a wall clock or placed on any surface that befits it's unique sense of style.
The battery powered movement has a photosensitive sensor that automatically turns off the cuckoo sound in the absence of light. It also has a switch to regulate the volume of the cuckoo sound or to switch it off completely.
All Progetti cuckoo clocks are fitted with an Engstler™ clock & cuckoo mechanism which is custom built by the Engstler cuckoo clock manufacturer in the Black Forest region, Germany. Their craftsmanship ensures your cuckoo clock works as wonderfully as the world-famous traditional cuckoo clocks of the Black Forest region.
