A goniophotometer includes two independent towers: a main support tower and an upright mirror tower. A swing arm is connected to the main support tower and can be rotated around a main horizontal axis. An elliptic flat rotation mirror, a first detector and a second detector are fixed to the swing arm. A test light source that is also connected to the main support tower can be rotated around a vertical axis. An upright round mirror is connected to the upright mirror tower. A far-field measurement can be achieved when a light beam from the test light source travels into the rotation mirror then is reflected to the upright mirror, and then is reflected by the upright mirror to the first detector. A near field measurement is achieved when the second detector receives a test light beam directly form the test light source.
