YMMV but during a past deal in 2021 (echo dot 3rd gen + Sengled ) for $25, the items were fulfilled separately so I was able to return the Sengled separately for $10, making the echo just $15
I advise against Sengled products, especially the ones that connect over the Internet. The product in this page uses Bluetooth, so the situation may be different, but still be careful.
I had a WiFi smart bulb that frequently gets disconnected which became frustrating to use. Their server is simply unreliable. I ended up using a smart bulb from a different brand. Make sure to check out negative reviews, e.g. https://www.amazon.com/product-reviews/B08TG5X172/
I have a couple of these specific Sengled Bluetooth bulbs from past Amazon promos. They work fine. The only thing that's a little strange is they don't have their own app, as wi-fi bulbs do, so they can only be controlled from the Alexa or Google Home. Also, as someone who has both "ecosystems" in my home, I think they can only be connected to one system or the other (not both). Wifi smart bulbs can be controlled from all ecosystems.
