I am wiring a photo electric switch in-line with a 3 way switch to operate an outdoor light. How do I connect the three wires, black, red, and white from the photocell to the 14/3 incoming and the 14/2 to the light?

I am wiring a photo electric switch in-line to turn on at dusk and off at dawn a circuit that operates a outdoor display.

The black wire is connected to the live (hot wire) coming from the switch.  The white wire is connected to the neutral wire of the supply and the red wire is connected to the live terminal of the lamp holder. The neutral terminal of the lamp holder is connected to neutral wire of the supply.
