The $40 bundle includes the 5th generation Echo Dot with Clock, which is essentially a regular Dot smart speaker paired with an LED display that can show the time, alarms, weather info, and song titles. Since this is a smaller speaker, its sound quality is probably best suited for personal, low-volume listening, but it can be connected to larger sound systems. The Dot’s real strength is in its Alexa capabilities, which give you access to a massive library of voice commands and skills, and the ability to easily control compatible devices.
As for the bulb, it’s a color-changing Sengled Smart Light Bulb. This one’s rated at 8.7W and 800 lumens, and it’s capable of displaying some 16 million colors. It should pair painlessly with your Echo Dot speaker, and then you may use Alexa to turn it off and on, dim or brighten it, or even set up custom schedules. If you’ve got your eye on other Echo hardware, Amazon is also offering the Sengled bulb bundle for both the Echo and Echo Studio, as well.
The Echo Dot bundle at $28 is a great deal if you don’t need the clock display, and the larger Echo speaker offers higher sound quality for an additional $20. If money isn’t a factor for you, and you just want the absolute best sound quality, the Echo Studio is the way to go.
