Plant Light Questions

So I'm going on a 2 week holiday and I have a tank with a good number of Anubias Nana and Java Fern. I have nobody to turn on the lights and I've had no luck trying to find an automatic light timer.

How low light are Anubias Nana and Java Fern? Do they need legitimate direct sunlight to be okay? Or will some of my home lights be okay as well?

Here's a picture of my tank's surroundings.

 

I think that light shade you have set up in the windows in the picture and the room lights will be fine for a couple of weeks.

 

Lots of stores sell vacation timers. Grocery stores, pharmacies, hardware stores.. That'll make your life so much easier and your plants will enjoy a set schedule of lights on and off.

 

You're not in the states so I can't make a store recommendation, is there a way you can order timers from a website such as Amazon or eBay?

Thanks for you're help, I'll take that into mind

I tried to find a timer as I stated above, I couldn't find any.
And there is no way I can order online because I'll be leaving next week.

Is there a way to get expedited shipping?

 

Once I left the light in the aquarium for a week, it was a sad experience. Many algae were scattered, on glass, on other plants, on scenery ... It is better to turn off the light, but leave the working filter

I agree with Dave, they should be fine with the light from the windows for two weeks.
