Hi all,
Welcome to UKAPS.

.they have been without any lights for two weeks as my light unit failed the night we went away.

That was really bad luck.

We will probably need a picture to be able to tell.

In the short term remove all the dead brown plant matter (all the leaves), if your stem plants still have green stems? Recovery is likely.

Slow growing, dark green plants, like Anubias barteri , Bolbitis heudelotii and some mosses are most likely to have survived, along with plants with rhizomes like Cryptocoryne spp.

Welcome @Alant. Two weeks isn't too long, they'll probably recover. But we will need images to properly advise you.
