They should be OK for a few days but I'd recommend getting a temporary light until you get what you want. They won't be happy about no light.

I had no lights for 3-4 days and my sps and lps did better then when I had light. They should be ok for a week. But any longer your corals might suffer abit

You could get these power supplies locally. They are common. They you do not have to worry about the corals suffering.
