So I want lambda to take different values within a range of 0 to 10 with increments of 0.01 and then store the output of the numerical integration. I would then like to plot lambda against the values obtained from the numerical integration.

simply use Table:
result = Table[{lambda, NIntegrate[ref[lambda, theta, phi, Pi/5,
(2*Pi)/5], {theta, 0, Pi}, {phi, 0, 2*Pi}]}, {lambda, 0, 10, 1/100}];
ListPlot[result, PlotJoined -> True];
