You can see, by the Ohm's Law chart I provided, that the voltage is needed to complete the calculations.

And, if the system voltage is 3 phase, the voltage needs to be multiplied by 1.73, before using Ohm's Law.

Also, since you want to know KVA, need to know the Power factor of the lighting.

So, provide:
System Voltage
Phases
Power Factor
