Dietz #80 Blizzard Hurricane Oil Lamp Burning Lantern Black with Gold Trim

I bought this after seeing them at the safari lodges I stayed at in Africa. These feel cheap and light compared to the old ones they had back in Africa, but I am still really very happy with it. The glass is real glass (not plastic) and everything works and it looks good. I will update this if anything changes.

I am impressed with the quality of this hurricane lantern. I also own a European lantern and I find this Dietz to be of about the same solid quality. We used it last night and there were no leaks no issues and it throws a nice light. It is the largest of the hurricanes I believe and it is pretty.

This is my first Dietz lantern, and I couldn’t be happier! This thing “sips” fuel, and puts off plenty of heat and light. I liked it so much I LITERALLY just bought another… I’m not a prepper, but when the power goes out, I KNOW I have heat and light! 👊🏻

Very happy with this purchase. The lamp is great and works perfectly. Remember to purchase extra wick at the same time that you purchase the lamp :)

I like it even though it's a little dim but for emergency lighting it works great and looks really nice

Did not like wick adjuster

First the good stuff. The lantern a good looking piece and provides nice ambiance if that is what you are looking for. It is rated at 9 candlepower and that is accurate. It is not a bright lamp and provides barely enough light to read by. The 9 candlepower rating should tell you that. If you are looking for a bright light, you will need something that runs on propane, camp fuel, or gasoline ( yes gasoline). Check out Coleman lanterns if that is what you want. This lamp is nice for a candlelight dinner or for lighting a part of your campsite that is away from the fire.This lamp is easy to refuel, but it does not hold very much. It lights very easily with either a torch or a long stem lighter. Changing the wick is a bit difficult because extracting the burner out from under the glass cover is tricky. Don't use force as you will be tempted to do because the lamp is very lightweight.

No Gold color as advertised. All black.Otherwise a black Deitz.Keeping it anyway.
