The lamp structure can enhance road users' safety and the safety of our daily lives by increasing the illuminance on a curvy road and other sites of application that have special requirements.

Abstract: The present invention discloses an optic distribution meter that includes a testing system and an imaging system. The testing system includes an arc-shaped brace which has an extended object holder; and a rail base which has a first rail. The imaging system, set at a side of the testing system, includes a screen and an image catcher.
