Neither Echo nor Echo Show devices have built-in night lights, but there are ways to use them in that way. Smart speakers like the Echo and Echo Dot have light rings that you can illuminate to act as night lights with the help of the right Alexa skill, while Echo Show has a display that can be used as a night light if you manually change the settings.

You can also have the light ring turn off after a specified time if you don’t want the night light to stay on all night. Here’s how to use an Alexa device like Echo or Echo Dot as a night light:
