The next Amazon Prime Day sale event but there are early deals . Case in point? There are some great deals on Echo Show smart displays that come with smart light bulbs.
Echo Show 5 that’s $50 off. It’s a great all-rounder that easily finds a place on our list . It’s bare bones, but it gets the job done. We appreciated the compact design and the small but useful 5.5-inch screen. The compact size allows the Echo Show 5 to double as a smart alarm clock.

This deal gets you a display and a light bulb.
To that end, there’s an ambient light sensor that automatically adjusts the screen’s brightness, a touch-to-snooze function, and a sunrise alarm that slowly illuminates the screen for a gentle wake-up call. There’s also a camera for video calls and the like, which is great, and privacy concerns are allayed by the physical camera cover that comes with the display.
It’s a smart display, so Amazon bundled the Sengled smart bulb. It’s a decent way to learn the ins and outs of smart home setups, but it’s just a colored light bulb. The only major downside to this display is that the speakers are small compared to the rest of the device. This translates into lower sound quality compared to competing smart displays.
If you want bigger speakers and a bigger screen, there’s a similar offer . The smart display retails for $105, a $65 discount. It also comes with the aforementioned bulb.
