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.

'Deep' Cuckoo Clock (Bronze & Black) by Progetti
Inspired by architectural cornices and frames that cover the facades of modern buildings, 'Deep' Cuckoo Clock by Progetti is a clock with many different faces.
A vision of the future, this unique minimalist cuckoo clock comes with magnets that can be inserted into the parallelepiped structure, allowing a choice of angling the frame, thus enhancing the polyhedral-esque design. The 'Deep' cuckoo clock is available in two versions: one with a lime-green rod frame and varnished white clock face or the other with bronze-coloured iron sheeting and black & bronze wooden clock face. Used as either a table-top or wall cuckoo clock, this contemporary cuckoo clock brings a vision of the future into your home or office.
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.
