If this existing photo cell has an on/off switch inline with it to control it in the case it needs resetting, why don't you just leave the existing light where it is. Then buy a new motion detector light and install it where you want. Then install a run of NM cable between the new light and the existing switch to supply power to it.

And Captain, it's not really a good idea to power your light via an extension cord, you should really install permanent wiring to this fixture.
