I have a Dainolite Model#BAY-166LP-PC hanging lamp that I want to install. There are only two wires (black and white) in the junction box but the lamp comes with a three part electrical cable (L - black, N - white, G - ground?) plus a separate ground wire from the lamp. I've installed hanging lamps before and have simply attached two wires and the ground. Would there be two ground wires? Photo attached (does not show separate ground wire). Any help appreciated.

How about a picture of the inside of the junction box?

If the box is wired with type AC cable (BX) the grounding conductor is the cable armor. In that case you install a 10/32 ground screw in the box with a ground wire pigtail and connect all of your grounds to that.
