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.

Crafted by Rombach & Haas from wood and materials locally sourced from the Black Forest, and built with the same care and attention as their traditional range, this model is a modern twist on the traditional chalet-styled cuckoo clocks of old and adds to their ever-growing range of beautifully crafted modern cuckoo clocks.

Adorning each cuckoo clock is a hand-carved cuckoo bird, made by a skilled woodcarver. Upon the hour and also each half hour, the bird comes to life, and animates to the sound of it's natural-sounding 'cuckoo' call followed by one of 12 melodies.
