Need Help With A New Light...

So I have a 5x8 flower room that I am upgrading my lights on....I do not know the specs of what chips are needed and drivers. I was looking to build a light with strips instead of boards. These are the strips and I am also using two 240 meanwell drivers. From the wall they pull 550 watts. My question is....would 2 of these be good enough for the 5x8? I use it for flowering only. Below is basically what I am getting but with 16 strips instead of 14. Each one flowers a 5x5 so I would assume 2 would be great for a 5x8. Any help would be greatly appreciated.


8 - 30x400mm Strips with 96 Samsung lm301b / lm301h LEDs
Each Strip has:
64 - 2700k Samsung lm301b
16 - 4000k Samsung lm301h
16 - 6500k Samsung lm301b

8 - 30x400mm Strips with 90 Samsung lm301b / lm301h LEDs plus Red & IR
Each Strip has:
58 - 2700k Samsung lm301b
16 - 4000k Samsung lm301h
16 - 6500k Samsung lm301b
4 - 660nm Deep Red
2 - 730nm Far Red(IR)

I've never seen this before. could you post a link to the website where you'd buy it?
 
The way the strips are clumping color temps together is really bad spread. This is just an example though you said right? Yes, 4 HLG-240s will do a 5x8. 1100watts from what you said.
