How many wires are there in the cable from the ballast to the lamp? If 2 then no ground, if 3 then most likely ground. If they are giving you a ground wire, then to me it says "ground your fixture because the lamp isn't grounded".

My original hood retrofit kit came with a grounding wire which I grounded the hood to earth ground via an outlet (don't ground to a power bar).

When I upgraded my lighting to dual 250W, then the ballasts and lamps came grounded. So now my hood is extra grounded
