I've used the Dietz style hurricane or "blizzard" lanterns for years and really like them. The light output is about the same as my 3 candle Candelier lantern. The cheaper "no name brand" lanterns I've used over the years have held up pretty well. Unfortunately most of them do leak a tiny bit of oil through the bottom seam of the storage tank. Maybe thats the reason I've only used paraffin wax in mine and not kerosene. I did lose my old one so maybe its time to get an authentic Dietz this time. Anyone have any one? Here's a photo.
