There’s an Echo Pop bundle that includes a TP-Link Tapo smart light bulb in the smart speaker category. It typically costs $40 on its own, adding more luster to today’s sale.
Of course, this bundle also includes a Tapo smart light bulb. This is another entry-level device, though it’s not exactly bare-bones. The bulb can display 16 million different colors, which makes for unique lighting effects. Once connected, users can ask Alexa to dim the lights, raise the lights or change colors.

It’s also a good way to gauge how much energy will be saved by going with smart appliances, as Tapo bulbs use around 60 percent less power when compared to standard bulbs.
