Description
The Dietz #2 Blizzard, now known as the #80 Blizzard, was originally billed as the “King of the Cold Blast Lanterns,” and was in fact one of the first Cold Blast Lanterns produced; being so, it takes the older style #852 Fitzall globe. This workhorse of a lantern is still used as a primary source of light in many parts of the world, and is still a real favorite here in the U.S.

The lantern I got was stunning, the welds are great and the action smooth. The only reason I omitted one star is I feel, if you upgrade the globe to a different color you should also get the original globe. Where does that clear globe go? If I knew beforehand that I would not be getting both, I would have just ordered it separately just to have the option.
Madison Kirkman –
The Construction of the Dietz Lanterns is superior to any other lantern offered at Walmart etc. As for the globe, when you upgrade, it’s not an add on. The Clear globe is not put in the lantern if a green globe is ordered. Was there some verbiage on the website that made this confusing?

Just received my new lantern today have a very old dietz #2 lantern and this lantern puts out 3 times the light very my old one was made in the United States and the quality seems to be just as good on the new one very happy with it and would definitely recommend it. Thanks
Madison Kirkman –
The #80 Blizzard Lantern and most other Dietz Lanterns available today are still produced on the original tooling, thus they are built to the same quality as American Produced Lanterns.
