LIke last reply said, this is a good combo if you're short on time and think you'll be able to kill the enemy champion without having to proc Illumination 3 times, but if you're asking for a combo that does the most damage, that's not it. After playing Lux quite a few times and thinking on it, I've tried and arrived at the conclusion that the quickest combo that gives you the maximum possible output of damage is:

Q -> Immidiately throw down your E, but don't detonate it -> Immidiately use R to pop Q's debuff and apply a new one -> AA once, that'll proc R's debuff -> By this time your snare should be nearly wearing off, after the last AA that proc'd R's debuff, AA a second time, and near the end of your AA animation, before your AA connects, pop your E so that you'll apply another debuff that'll immidiately be proced by your AA. Detonating your E doesn't have a cast animation and therefore it doesn't interrupt any action you're taking, so don't worry about it cancelling the AA.

This combo gives you 3 illumination procs on top of landing all your spells. I suggest not detonating your E till your last AA animation is nearly complete because the slow field it provides ensures that they'll remain within range for your last AA to connect. It seems a little daunting because you'll be doing the entire combo in ~2 seconds, but it's not difficult once you get the hang of it.
