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.

Bring home a touch of nostalgia with the 'Koo Koo' Cuckoo Clock by Italian design leaders Progetti. Its iconic shape and bright colours are inspired by the artistic movement of the 1970's, where future worlds were brought to life in cinema and art. The design for this clock brings to life the intersection of those artistic styles, making it reminiscent of a set piece that was perhaps stolen from a Stanley Kuberick film in a parallel universe.
Designed by Studio Kuadra, the modern 'Koo Koo' cuckoo clock is crafted with high-quality wood, incorporating clean, soft and rounded lines and comes in four different colour varieties - orange & back, white & black, black & white, and white & green.
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.
