Installing 7 exterior lights on my new garage, motion or photo electric eye?
Yes, you can crossover motion detectors if you set it up properly.  You would use discrete motion sensors and lights, not combo light-sensor units.  If you're married to the idea of combo units, you will need to "hack" them, which is off-topic here. 

All motion sensors have day/night detection, and will not activate in daylight. 


However, motion sensors's light level detectors read absolute lux (the human eye cannot see absolute lux; the eye auto-adjusts to ambient light; sensors can't/don't/don't need to).  Light sensors are programmed with defaults for the lux of day vs night.  In very shady locations, or locations with a high level of artificial light (e.g. in the bask of a street light), those default values will fool the sensor. However after it experiences a couple of day-night cycles, it will calibrate to the appropriate lux levels.  Thus, do not angrily think "what is wrong with this thing!?" until day 3. However, if you cut power to the sensor, you wipe its memory and it must start over so having it downstream of a light switch etc. is a bad idea.  


So to wire this, you must 


bus a white wire from supply to every sensor AND lamp (netural)
bus a red wire between every sensor and lamp, but no need to go to supply (switched-hot)
bus a black wire from supply to every sensor (no need to take it to the lamps), this is supply hot.
Do not put a light switch on a black wire. 
At the lamps, connect their black wires to the red wire. 


You can use /3 cable for this.
