Early Game
Lux is a control mage. This means she can control the waves very easy in the early game forcing enemy to use abilities on minions instead of her. Early damage is low compared to assassins so don't take any trade, they will burst u down from 100%
Try to poke with q/e to stack manaflow but don't trade unless you have to.

Mid-Game
If enemies roam bot, don't follow, try taking turret plates and warn your team with pings. They should have wards of their own down there already.
Never follow an enemy who roams on your own. He will turn and kill you.

Late Game
Don't forget Lux is a control mage, this means you don't tank or put yourself in harms way. You can should always have a tank or bruiser in front of you. If you catch people in jungle with a q your team should catch up with them and finish them.
Try getting level advantages during enemy roams

1. Even when losing, when played properly Dark Seal/ Mejai's Soulstealer will get stacks just from shielding your allies.
2. Lucent Singularity + Illumination + Final Spark can deal more damage than Smite
3. 40% cdr + 40% cloud drakes + 25% u hunter. 8 secs CD on Final Spark.
4. Final Spark has a 1 second casting time. Perfect to cast before the stun hits.
5. Final Spark can steal enemy blue buffs.
6. Ionian Boots of Lucidity has 10% CDR which becomes 20AP when combined with Transcendence.
