Electrician question: grounding a ballast for retrofit light installation

[banditpowdercoat]

Most Flourescent ballasts are not grounded. The lamp shade/fixture is grounded, but the ballast itself is not bonded. Not totally sure why. On regular fourescent fixtures, the ballast is held in with a nut. Maybe this qualifies as a ground to CSA? I dunno. But never have to ground the ballast for code or anything. Just make sure the fixture is grounded and you will be safe
