Is lower weight still okay?

Hello, guys! In the last few months I have been doing Chloe's strenght training programs and usually use 4 kg weights (8,8lbs) but now I'm not at home and can't use my own weights. The only weights I have access to are 2kg (4,4 lbs).
From what I know we should always challenge ourselves and use such weights that feel heavy in the last few reps in order to make progress and grow muscle.
And then I wonder: is it better to exercise with lighter weight (and potentially make no progress) or not exercise at all untill I can use my normal weights?
What do you think? Is lower weight still better than no exercise?
