Shoot a Docos lamp at home, then keep it.
Our creator program sends lighting to people who photograph real rooms. You put down half the price when you order. Once your post has been up for 30 days, every dollar of that goes back to your card.
- For Instagram accounts with 1,000+ followers
- 69 pieces picked for creators
- You keep the lamp
How it works, start to finish
We decide within a week. Making and shipping your piece takes the longest, and each product page lists its own timing.
Apply
Email us your Instagram handle, 3 to 5 photos you’ve taken at home, and the piece you want.
Hear back
You get an answer from a real person within five business days, whether it’s yes or no.
Order with a deposit

Style and shoot
We make your lamp and ship it with tracking. Take the time you need to get the shot right.
Post and get refunded
Publish and tag @docosus. After 30 days live, your deposit goes back to your card within five business days.
Who we’re looking for
We’d rather work closely with a smaller group of creators than reach as many people as possible. Your follower count matters less than whether your feed already looks like a home our lamps belong in.
A good fit
- 1,000 or more Instagram followers who comment and save your posts
- You post about interiors, renovations, cooking, plants, design or everyday life at home
- You shoot lived-in rooms, ideally in natural light
- Your profile is public and you have a delivery address we ship to
Not a fit yet
- Your account is mostly about topics outside the home
- You mainly repost other people’s photos or studio product shots
- Your profile is private, so we can’t see your work
- You already got a piece from us this quarter

Deposit, posting and earnings
The details people ask about most. If something isn’t covered, email info@docos.us.
Why do you ask for a deposit?
Without one, a lot of sent lamps never end up in a post. The deposit shows us you plan to share it. It’s refunded in full, so the lamp costs you nothing in the end.
When do I get my deposit back?
Once your post has been public and tagged @docosus for 30 days, we refund the full deposit to the card you paid with, within five business days. You don’t need to send an invoice or remind us.
If the post isn’t published, or comes down before the 30 days are up, the deposit isn’t refunded.
Do I have to return the lamp?
No. The lamp is yours to keep. The deposit isn’t what you pay for it.
What should I post?
There’s no script and no brief. We ask for:
- One photo of the lamp switched on in a finished room. Evening light shows it best.
- One reel or video, 15 to 60 seconds long, of the lamp in your space.
- A mention of Docos with a link to docos.us in the caption.
- A tag of @docosus on the photo and in the caption.
Do I get a discount code for my followers?
Yes. When your lamp ships, we send you a personal code to add to your caption or a pinned comment. Your followers get 15% off their order with it.
For every lamp ordered with your code, we pay you $10 once the customer receives it, with no limit. An order of three lamps earns you $30. Payments go out within five business days of confirmed delivery.
How long until my lamp arrives?
Many of our pieces are made to order, so timing varies. Each product page shows production and shipping times, and every order ships insured with tracking.
