I'm doing the electrical for my inground pool and need to get clarification on a couple of items.

First, is a pool light junction box still required if my subpanel is 15 feet from the pool and my light cord can reach that subpanel?

Second, if I do need the j-box, I know it needs to be 4ft from the pool wall but is there a maximum distance too? Can I put it right in front of my subpanel (making it about 10-12ft from the pool)?

Third, the pool is a steel wall inground pool. How many bonding connections do I need to make to the structure? I read somewhere that I need 4 connections but not sure if that's accurate.

Finally, can I use screws to attach the bonding lugs to the steel framing of the pool or by code do they need to be clamps? (I thought I read this somewhere too)
