After playing as Lux for so long and trying everything possible, I find Lux best in a duo lane as a support caster. Her strengths are her range and support capabilities and can really help your partner. She should not take solo because your farm is better off given to someone else who can make use of the solo farm and can carry throughout the game. Also, considering her sustainability is awful with high mp costs and long cooldowns, the enemy solo can really take advantage of that and just tank your burst damage and kill you. Lux can't solo against any tanky dps well.
I've tried all kinds of item builds and the one I like the most is two gp5 items then rabadon cap and void staff. The gp5 items first because I find it really does let you build more items going into late game since Lux's farm is really, really bad at the start (E has such a high mana and cd cost that it's a trade off between harassing champs or killing creeps during laning). Then pure AP items to take advantage of her early game high AP ratios. Finish the rest of the items depending on what the enemy team is building.
I should note that Lux has a good early to mid game but then completely falls off the team late game when the enemy team starts stacking magic resist. Lux is still really fun though which is why I mained her at some point.
