Our mission is to foster a strong connection between nature and individuality, to inspire good stewardship, and bring art back into the outdoors. We’re committed to making sustainably-made, high-quality and totally awesome products to promote Outdoor Enlightenment®.

It all started with art. Designed in California by contemporary artist and adventure junkie, in 2014 Sean Anderson decided to make the gear he wanted to own: rad looking headlamps that never quit. “There just wasn’t a headlamp on the market that felt like me... I wanted technically advanced gear that didn’t look ‘technical’ – I wanted it to be beautiful.” Fast forward thousands of hours at the drafting table and the trails, and Third Eye Headlamps was born.

Third Eye products are built to balance functionality, sustainability and individuality. The TE14 lamp is made of recyclable, non-toxic plastic and comes with a lifetime warranty. Our signature “Totally Awesome Headbands” are a grab bag of – you guessed it – totally awesome designs for epic personalization. And to top it off, we’re proud members of 1% for the Planet, so each headlamp directly supports organizations working toward a healthier, happier planet. It all ladders up to making a statement and making an impact.

We want our customers to enjoy our headlamps while they climb mountains, dance in deserts, strum around the fire, sweat before 6am, and generally just have fun. Life’s too short for boring headlamps.

Peace, love and Outdoor Enlightenment.

More About Sean…

An avid artist, surfer and outdoorsman since he was young, all aspects of Anderson’s creativity and experience have come together as founder/owner of Third Eye Headlamps.

He began surfing at six, biked the perimeter of Hawaii at ten and became the youngest rider to complete the entire Great Divide mountain bike ride along the continental divide from Canada to Mexico when he was thirteen. He has explored jungles and rivers of Bolivia as part of a heath-aid project, carrying art supplies as well as medical supplies to the small villages he visited. He’s ridden his bike tens of thousands of miles, explored throughout Europe, South Africa, Central America and most of the states west of the Rockies.

Anderson packs his Third Eye Headlamp on all of his journeys. He continues his goal of creating Third Eye products as functionally capable and aesthetically appealing as they can be through real life testing and research. After extensive artistic training in Santa Barbara through the Visual Arts & Design Academy, Sean attended the Academy of Art University in San Francisco continuing his education in classical figuration. Sean’s art has been included in exhibits at the Sullivan Goss Gallery in Santa Barbara, The Red Dot Art Fair in Miami, The Carnegie Art Museum and many more.

When he’s not on 2 wheels or chasing waves, you can find him in Carpinteria, CA with his son, Yuma, daughter, Vega and partner in life and creativity, Kimie Rosenthal (magic maker at The October Union). They pack Third Eye Headlamps on all their journeys.
