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.

'Twin' Horizontal Cuckoo Clock (Purple dial) by Progetti
Innovative, environment friendly and elegant in its simplicity - that is how you describe ‘Twin’ Cuckoo Clock by Progetti.
As always, the products designed by Studio Kuadra are a concentrated combination of research and creativity. 'Twin' is a modern cuckoo clock, but what’s new is the material used for its creation: it is completely made of corrugated cardboard, a very unusual type of material for this product. The sturdy structure of the cardboard is enhanced by the curves of the clock that highlight the corrugated edge giving the effect of continuous movement. Available in three colours - red, purple and black - and also in both a vertical and horizontal model, this contemporary cuckoo clock is perfect as a wall or table clock where conscientious minds and modern spaces co-exist.
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.
