we could replace h with c/lambda or c/frequency... couldn't we?

Could you justify this for me?


so then the resulting integral is counting hte number of photons... and we don't even need the other integrals?

You won't need the other integrals.

couldnt we just write joules as kg m^2 s-2??
what i wrote earlier wasnt correct i was thinkin about the relation between the sped of light lambda and frequency
anyway even if we did like taht then we have a kg factor and kg isn't relevant to a photon
