Questions:
Are they dimming ballasts?
If so what is the make and model number of the ballasts and dimmers?
Where are you located?

Yes they are dimming ballast
It's lutron hi-lume a series 3 wire
Do u think power pack for the motion sensor has some think to do with issue because that' s the only think that connect bouth lights other than a feed .
