I’ve been using a smart light in my bedroom for the better part of a year, and it’s hard to imagine going back to a traditional switch-operated light. Since I have a smart speaker right next to my bedside, I can turn my lights on or off with a quick voice command — no more getting out of bed just to turn things off. There are a ton of smart lights to choose from, but if you want one that’ll pair well with your Amazon Echo speakers, Amazon’s Echo Glow is on sale for $20 today at Amazon and Target. You can toggle the lights on or off or change the colors all with your voice, and within Amazon’s app, you can set up routines that’ll change the color of the lamp based on the time of day, so you can have a softer color in the morning and before bed.
