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.

This colourful cuckoo clock is crafted by renowned Black Forest manufacturer Hubert Herr. As a wall cuckoo clock model, it's lovely design is perfect to add a splash of colour to a living room, hallway or study or as a precious addition as a modern cuckoo clock in a child's play room.
It features:
- Cuckoo bird with 'cuckoo' chime each hour
- Manual 1-day movement
- Swinging pendulum
This cuckoo clock is a 1-day movement cuckoo clock which means it's clock mechanisms can accurately keep time for 1 day without the need for re-winding. All winding is done by hand, manually, by pulling down on the bottom chains. This raises the weights which allows mechanism to keep running which allows the clock to keep time and animate the cuckoo bird and sound. The act of pulling the weights need only be done every 1 days although it is fine to wind it up before during the 1 day cycle.
All of our cuckoo clocks come with a 30-day money back guarantee and FREE shipping within Europe & Mainland UK.
