Amazon’s Echo Glow offers a soft and colorful glow for your child’s bedroom that you can turn on and off and change with a single touch or by using Alexa. The small table lamp produces either soft white or any color of the rainbow, and kids can tap the Echo Glow to cycle through all available colors. Once it’s paired with your existing Alexa-enabled device, such as an Echo Dot, you can change the colors, adjust the brightness, and create daily routines using your voice.
You can get the Amazon Echo Glow for only $20, down from $30, saving you $10 and 35% off.
A color-changing smart lamp for kids’ rooms
This is a great option for children’s bedrooms, playrooms, and nurseries, though you can use it as a nightlight anywhere. This multicolor smart lamp includes warm white and RGB LED lights, a max brightness of 100 lumens, and the ability to change colors by tapping the lamp itself. It also includes fun lighting options, a timer that cycles through a rainbow called the Rainbow Timer, and Wi-Fi connectivity. The lamp has a rounded design, is about 3.9 inches in diameter, and weighs about 8.6 ounces. It requires pairing with another Alexa-enabled device or the Alexa app.
Your child may enjoy changing colors by tapping the lamp when it’s time to go to bed. Alexa lets you use voice commands such as “Alexa, set the lamp to purple” or “Alexa, dim the lamp.” Along with controlling the brightness, you can assign names to each lamp within the Alexa app, which can help personalize the experience for your child.
The Rainbow Timer lets parents visually count down until it’s time for school or bed by shifting the light from one end of the spectrum to the other. You can also include the Echo Glow in your Alexa routines. For example, you can program your routine to have the Echo Glow gradually brighten as your child wakes up or gradually dim as they prepare for bed.
There are many different ways to add personality to a space. For example, you can ask Alexa to begin Dance Party mode, Color Flow mode, Campfire mode, Siren mode, Firetruck mode, or Underwater mode. Holiday-themed modes for Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, and Valentine’s Day let the lamp take on a specific theme.
To connect your Echo Glow to your router via Wi-Fi, download the Alexa app on your smartphone and follow a short series of instructions. Your Echo Glow then connects to your router via 2.4GHz Wi-Fi. The Echo Glow’s rounded design is sturdy enough for young children, and it includes a power adapter that fits a standard electrical outlet. The Echo Glow is also small enough to sit on a nightstand, bookshelf, or dresser without taking up much space.
The Amazon Echo Glow combines a soothing nightlight and fun colored lamps with useful Alexa-based routines in a compact, child-friendly format. It’s a fun way to provide support during both morning and evening routines.
