I have a customer who is installing an above ground pool .The pool has a 110v cord and plug light .My question is this if I need my Gfi 10 feet from the pool how do I avoid a cord being draped 10 feet across the lawn ?

You don't... see 680.22(B)(5) and 680.7(A)
 
the only light i have seen for an above ground pool have a transformer and operate at less than 15 volts. i plug it in at a post 5 feet from the pool where the pump is plugged.

How would you supply that light if it was on the opposite side of the above ground pool from the pump?

the pool companies that i do work for don't offer random placement of the light as an option. the light fixture and the water supply nozzle, coming from the pump, are a one piece unit that require cutting only one hole in the side of the pool. if a customer insisted on a light on the opposite end...i would run an underground circuit to a single outlet mounted on a post 5 feet from the pool. if the check is big enough....anything is possible.

Umm, wouldn't that be a violation of 680.22 (2) ?
