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 beautiful carved cuckoo clock is carefully crafted by renowned Black Forest manufacturer Rombach & Haas.
This fine carving cuckoo clock highlights a classical bird theme. Decorating the face of the clock is a bird on top of the clock with his wings widely spread while the other birds sit on the edges of the dial, feeding themselves. Among these birds are the carved leaves on the sides of the clock as an added decoration.
This cuckoo calls every half hour once and the number of the hours every full hour. It has an exclusive life-like wooden handpainted cuckoo with a certificate of authenticity from the Black Forest Clock Association (VdS). This authentic clock has a mechanical extreme long-life rack strike movement and allows turning the hands left and right without endangering the mechanics of the movement. The 1 day running time movement need to be wind up once a week, that means you pull on the chains until the weights are up. The size refers only to the clock, without pendulum and weights are made of cast iron. This carved cuckoo clock has a wooden cuckoo, wooden clock dial, wooden bird, wooden clock hands and night shut off.
