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)

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.
