Thanks very much to Luigi.
Your solution really works.
Can you please explain why you doing this? My point is that if I have the LUA code in a separate lua file (loaded with the Contex via \directlua{dofile("filename.lua")}) (for example as a separate Lua function), so I'm probably not so to do (how you did it in your example).
Or perhaps in this case there is any way?
Thanks

Height of box via ConTeXt (works fine):

\setmybox

\lsize=5cm
\dorecurse{3}{%
    \lsize=\dimexpr(\lsize+7mm)
    \setmybox
    height of box: \the\ht0\par
    width of box: \the\wd0\par
\box0\par
}

\page

... and Height of box via Lua (does it work ?):

\setmybox
\ctxlua{tex.dimen.lsize=5*72.27*65536/25.4;i=0}
\dorecurse{3}{%
\ctxlua{
--[=[ for i=1, 3 do ]=]
    i=i+1
    tex.dimen.lsize=tex.dimen.lsize+7*72.27*65536/25.4
    context([[\setmybox]])
}
\ctxlua{
    local heightbox=tex.box[0].height
    local widthbox=tex.box[0].width
    heightbox=(heightbox*2.84527559067*25.4)/(72.27*65536)
    widthbox=(widthbox*2.84527559067*25.4)/(72.27*65536)
    context(i..[[ height of box:]]..heightbox.."pt :
"..(tex.box[0].height/216).."pt\\par")
    context(i..[[ width of box:]]..widthbox.."pt :
"..(tex.box[0].width/216).."pt\\par")
    context([[\box0\par]])
--[=[ end ]=]
}
}
\stoptext
