Inara must be wrong only <2 T9/cutter runs, thats stupidly low for a 75% count...
It's on the low side, but the CG isn't done yet. Most bubble trade CGs have a 75% estimate somewhere in the 1000-1500t range - Colonia Bridge Phase 3 Alcor was very much a massive outlier at ~4300t.
 
Quick update on the reward lights - these are for Top 75% only, so you'll need to deliver more than 1 tonne to get them I'm afraid.
IMO, FD should give rewards to everyone who participated. Otherwise, there will be a ton on complaints. Nowhere in the CG description it was stated that lights would be awarded only to Top-75%, and it's kinda late (and lame) to change it.
Oh well, another cause of bad communication. Nothing new, I'm afraid - just FD doing what they do best.

Yep, they should.
The CG text is pretty revealing

As well as guaranteeing generous reimbursement to all contributors, Brewer Corporation is pleased to offer warm, white cockpit lights as an additional token of gratitude.


ALL CONTRIBUTORS

But think of how many Arx sales Frontier would lose out on! Those white string lights are one of the most coveted digital items since horse armor.

It says in the notes section in the OP,

  • Lights reward is for Top 75% and above

Based on Inara data, you'll need a minimum of 1153t to hit 75%, but i guarantee you'll need more by the end of Wednesday

and it's Monday, late afternoon - or is it evening already? - way past weekend when most people can find an hour or two to participate.
 
Based on previous form where CG's are concerned, rewards are normally for the top 75%. I can't remember one that paid out for all 100% of participants. Don't quote me on the last part.
 
Probs 1T is OK

Yeah, now it does.
:)
And that's what bothers me most about this: why does it say so on the forums but not in game?
The CG text is the CG text. Questions were raised here (and in the other thread) about whether 1 tonne was enough, so I checked with "the source" and they told me Top 75%.

Once new information about a CG is known, @Flossy & I endeavour to make it as clear as possible to people what that is both by posting in the threads and, where appropriate, updating the first post so people just checking there and not reading the whole thread won't miss it. Much easier & quicker for us to do that than for a dev to divert from their day job and tweak the text in game, once the tweak has been agreed and approved ... Will the CG text get updated? Maybe, but not likely as we're at the end of Monday already.

The "Top 75% only" information comes from FDev, so I doubt 1 tonne will be enough unless they change their current plan.

Nobody is blaming you guys for anything.
As always you are doing a marvelous job

Would be cool to include this in the description, same how it was done with the FSDs. I had time over the last days but won’t be able to get there now :(
