Hi, I'm the YouTube Deal Guy Matt Granite.
I find the biggest deals for you right here
and the hot items I test get given away to subscribers.
My last upload had the top five deals of the week
and today the top five tech deals on Amazon.
I am a bargain-hunter for Amazon and for you
and I want to begin first with a deal you don't usually see
on the Echo Dot before we get to
some seriously smart bulbs.
The Echo Dot usually gets discounted two to three times
a year at max, today's deal of buy three and save 20
is great, but watch how it works.
Echo, who's your daddy?
- [Echo] I was made by a team of inventors at Amazon.
- And while the sound out of the Echo Dot isn't
nearly as good as it's larger Echo sibling on top,
this device really came alive as something you can integrate
into your current setup, you can add an auxiliary speaker,
you can stream your music, it would be great in the kitchen.
Echo, set a timer for 30 seconds from now.
- [Echo] 30 seconds, starting now.
- [Matt] And for me, it's best placed now in my bedroom
replacing my alarm clock.
Echo, set an alarm for 8:00 AM tomorrow.
- [Echo] Alarm set for 8 AM tomorrow.
- [Matt] Echo, turn off the bed lamp.

So buy three, save $20, the coupon code and the link
located right under the video screen.
So, did you see that bulb in my light?
Well that was smart, smarter than I am,
and I'm not even using a hub.
The bulb that's getting it done is inside this box.
Let's unbox the light, love that you get
the two-year warranty.
And I love that you don't need to buy a hub.
So this is what I use in my home right now,
and if you are familiar with TP-Link, they make incredible
routers and wifi extenders, which I will be
reviewing in the coming weeks.
The bulb will not smash, it's that really nice
hard tempered plastic, and the bulb looks like
a traditional light bulb you would buy that is eco-friendly,
the difference is inside and under the hood
you have all of those components that allow this to operate
in a smart way, talking directly to Alexa and Google Home.
If the idea of setting the bulbs to a specific time
to wake you up rather than a traditional alarm
sounds appealing or you want to be able to control
the color from your phone, you get a lot of
color options with this and it works with both
Google Assistant and Amazon Alexa services.
So that is absolutely fantastic, you don't need a hub
and it can match the light appearance to the time of day.
For me, not having to buy any type of WeMo outlet
allows you to use these smart bulbs seamlessly.
My favorite of the options on sale, and I think just
the white bulb on it's own is sufficient,
is under 20 bucks, lowest recorded price.
If you want to skip the Echo or smartphone controls
and just control light and it's color with a touch control
for the same price as the bulb, this rechargeable system,
which I tested with Dominique, who's amazing and I miss her,
she's back at school full time, is ideal.
- Now, this is definitely a favorite of mine because
it has different levels of brightness.
As you can see, it gets dimmer and by the moment.
Also, it has different color changes.
So we have a violet, we have a blue, and different shades
of that color, which is why it's my favorite.
- On the gaming front, two big deals today.
Amazon offering an extra $50 for your trade-in
on any game console or accessory in it's collection.
The details and the link to take advantage of this
right under the video screen.
And at 75% off, if you are looking for one of the best-rated
waterproof fully-accessible gaming keyboards ever made
this is a great deal also located right under
the video screen, including a massive roundup of some
additional bonus items at Amazon, and I am now giving
two of these away for free and if your home is not smart
or you prefer the non-smart version of the lamp
that I found, your pick.
