Amazon Is Determined to Get Smart Bulbs Into Your House This Black Friday – CNET

Black Friday has brought us a lot of great deals so far, with Amazon leading the charge with a seemingly endless supply of smart bulbs. Yes, someone must have made too many — we’re thinking it’s an “Oops, All Smart Bulbs!” kind of situation. Amazon’s Black Friday sale is packed with awesome discounts on its popular products and the company is just giving away free smart bulbs. Right now, you can pick up a new fifth-gen Echo Dot smart speaker and a two-pack of Philips Hue smart bulbs on sale for just $40. There’s no telling how long this deal will be available, so order soon if you’re interested.

The fifth-gen Echo Dot is the latest model in its lineup, and this version even comes with a built-in clock face so you can check the time at a glance. Of course, thanks to the built-in microphone, you could also ask Alexa to tell you the time, as well as check the weather, set a timer, update your calendar and much more completely hands-free. It can also be used to control other smart devices on your network, like the Philips Hue smart bulbs.

This bundle includes a two-pack of glacier white A19 Hue smart bulbs. With the Echo Dot, you can turn this lights on or off using only the sound of your voice, or with the companion app on your smart phone. They’re 75-watt bulbs that boast 1,100 lumens of brightness and come with preset lighting modes to help you get energized in the morning or relax after a long day. If you just want to start with a single bulb, Amazon is also offering $41 off a single-bulb bundle with that fifth-gen Echo Dot you can pick up for just $25 right now.
