ANSI C82.11.5.2.2 & C78.81.13.2

ANSI C82.11.5.2.2 & C78.81.13.2

(OP)
This code is regarding light fixture and circuit grounding. the code begins with "rapid start lamps" and doesn't list a ground plane being required for any other ballast types (instant start or programmed rapid start).

does that mean those ballasts are exempt from requiring a ground plane starting aid?

every ballast manufacturer falls back on the " ballasts must be used in accordance with ansi c82.11 & c78.81" but nobody will clarify the specifics on this starting aid issue.

can anybody step up to the plate and provide some insight?
