Hello, I'm a novice when it come to this sort of thing. I have a 240w 3000k 660nm led form kingbrite but I have the opportunity to get these strips at a cheap price.
Manufacturer Part Number
SL-B8V7N90L1WW
Description
LED MOD INFLUXL09 WARM WHT STRIP

They are 3000k 48v strips . I wanted to know what your thought are on running 6 of these in a grow room? Are they any good basically? If someone could let me know and if they are ok what driver you would suggest?

Thanks

Any meanwell driver ending with -48 in the model number will do. You haven't described how large an area you want to cover, that number would determine the amount of power required.

When I looked at their specs it said only 126lm/w. That doesn't sound so good. THeir good ones are around 200lm/w. So I guess it s how cheap are they ...?

They are lm301A diodes, not the greatest.
If they're really cheap, get dozens of them instead. The more strips the higher the efficiency but still even at 0.2A each they're only 173lm/w.
