Review on πŸ”¦ Efficient Dietz #76 Original Oil Burning Lantern (Green): An Authentic Lighting Solution by Robin Joseph

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Pleasant, warming light not only for emergencies. Great for reading and relaxing!

This is my flashlight when the power goes out, when I'm sitting outside at night relaxing with a whiskey and cigar, or when I'm staying up late (literally burning midnight oil) working on my computer. Dietz 76 emits a pleasant, stable, warm light. The light is enough for a small room or to illuminate a desk/desk. I understand that many people consider this an emergency light, but I encourage you to use it to read, write a novel, or type on a computer. Even try to dine by lantern light. It's warm, cozy and soothing. There is really a pleasant feeling. In addition, it is much more attractive than fluorescent lighting. As a side note, I only use paraffin oil in this lantern (specifically, I use Lamplight 60009 Clear Ultra Pure Lamp Oil). It produces an even orange-yellow flame with no odor or soot. One more note: This lantern (like ALL lanterns) gets HOT. You must not touch the glass or its top unless you want to burn your fingers. Bottom and sides stay cool. It not only provides pleasant light on cold winter nights, but also cozy warmth! Don't forget to hold the button DOWN while firing! As you continue, heat will build up and you could burn your hand picking it up! Try lantern light! You will not be disappointed!
