Q: How long does it burn on one fill?
It burns lamp oil or kerosene continuously for up to 26 hours per fill before it needs refuelling.
Also known as the "Blizzard", this is the largest and brightest of the original railroad-style hurricane lanterns, so called because the flame is so well protected that even a hurricane will not blow it out.
A while ago Dietz (an American firm) moved all the original tooling to Asia where they continue to make lamps in the same style that first appeared in 1840.
The lantern gives off a 12-candlepower light, burns continuously for up to 26 hours without refuelling and goes out automatically if the lantern tips over. Makes a great emergency light, garden lantern, or nostalgic decoration. A lever lifts the glass globe to expose the wick for quick lighting, extinguishing, or trimming.
Hunter green with gold trim. Metal and glass construction. 15" tall, not including the handle. Uses lamp oil or kerosene.

Yes, the Dietz lantern's enclosed glass globe shields the flame, keeping it lit even in strong wind or rain. If the lantern tips over, the flame goes out.
It gives off 12 candlepower of light, enough to serve as emergency lighting during a power outage or as a garden lantern in the evening.
Extinguish the flame, then trim the wick straight across the top with scissors to remove the charred tip, then cut off the corners.
No, empty any remaining fuel before storing the oil lantern for an extended time; leftover fuel is a fire hazard and deteriorates through evaporation.
Dietz hurricane lanterns feature patented airflow systems that maximize light output and maintain a steady flame even in windy or harsh conditions.
