This papertakes into account economic evaluation to solve the problem. According to illuminative equipments price, lifespan and power consumption, the optimal program will be found under the limited investment. Firstly, the benefit ratio will be used to evaluate on the equipments modification necessity, and get the modification sequence. If the biggest benefit ratio is in different equipment simultaneously, the better one will be selected in terms of relative investment recovery period. The relative remaining time is innovatively introduced into economic evaluation for determining the equipments modification locations. Then the system operation flowchart is to prove that the scheme is workable. %K lighting energy-saving modification %K benefit ratio %K relative investment recovery period %K relative remaining time %U http://www.mecs-press.org/ijwmt/ijwmt-v2-n3/v2n3-4.html
