It's in the living room as an extra clock and a way to listen to radio shows that are available on youtube. Oh, and most important of all it provides the sound for my Fire TV Cube when the TV set sound does not work. My other Echoes would no longer pair with the Cube.

If the lighted clock on the Dot with clock is like I think it is, it probably doesn’t cast much light into a dark room. Any light source will cast some light, of course, but I have a clock with temperature and humidity read outs that I think has a very similar light system. Its light is very dim, so dim that it barely allows you to read it in a dark room. It has a daytime setting that engages automatically at sunrise so it can be read during the daytime too. I suspect the Dot with clock is probably very similar. The only light being emitted is coming through the illuminated numbers. Since it doesn’t have a LCD monitor, it doesn’t emit that much light into the room. My time and weather clock doesn’t emit enough light into a dark room to bother me while trying to sleep. Hopefully the Dot 3 and Dot 4 with clock is very similar.
