There are tons of exercises that you can try with just a pair of dumbbells. However, if your goal is for strength training, then you must follow the progressive overload principle, paying close attention to the rep ranges (3-8).

With this being said, depending on the max weight that you have (I believe they go up to 90 lbs), you can try these exercises:

Dumbbell Squat
Dubbbell Lunges
Dumbbell Sumo Deadlift
Dumbbell Stiff-legged Deadlift
Dumbbell Single Leg Squat

These should be plenty for you to start out with. Again, for strength training, you should aim for 3-8 reps. For muscle hypertrophy, aim for 8-15 reps. For both, then aim for 6-12. Good luck!
