Please help me out here ...

I am currently writing a timeline for the BoB entitled Ready to be Shot Out of the Sky where the German tactics have been changed for the 7th September onwards. In reality the German attacks switched from fighter command to London's East End on this day; in my timeline the daytime attacks continue on fighter command and London is hit at night.

I used the following passage from The Battle of Britain Societies website ...
The bombing continued well into the night, in fact, the total bombing lasted for seven hours. The weather, which had been a glorious late summer's day, and it seemed only right, that it should end with a 'most beautiful sunset', until it was realised that the sun was setting in the wrong direction, the red glow that they saw was the reflection in the evening sky of the burning East End. In all, over three hundred tons of bombs were dropped, and by midnight, the whole of London's East End was engulfed in flames. 490 London civilians were killed, 1,200 more were injured and to add fuel to the fire, a report comes in that Germans have landed on the South Coast of England.
... and I'm not sure my interpretation is 100% correct as my assumption is that this passage relates purely to the night time raids my reasoning is as follows.

I pondered this one for quite a while as the 300 tons dropped on London mentioned in the above passage didn't seem to ring true. From 16:30 - 18:30 the general agreement in most sources is that there were 300 bombers and that from 20:30(ish) - 04:30(ish) there were approximately 250 bombers attacking. If you consider the following bomb loads were typically carried:

-He111 - 2000Kg
-Ju88 - 1800Kg
-Do17 - 1000Kg

then the total bomb capacity, if considering an evenly balanced bomber force, would be 480 tonnes (529 tons) between 16:30 - 18:30 and 400 tonnes (440 tons) between 20:30 - 04:30.

Looking at the book "The Defence of the United Kingdom" gave me a little more clarity about when and how many tons of bombs were dropped by the Luftwaffe during the day and at night on 7th September. In Chapter 15 (dealing with the daylight campaign from 7th September), page 237 it states that 300 tons of HE was dropped and in Chapter 16 (dealing with the night campaign) it references Appendix 26, Night Attacks on London, 7th September-13th November 1940 it states that 335 tons of HE were dropped.

I came to the conclusion that as the passage I used from the Battle of Britain Society website started with "The bombing continued well into the night, in fact, the total bombing lasted for seven hours." combined with the information above that the 300 tons mentioned relate specifically to the night time bombings only.
