Default Wiring a PIR

Excuse me for jumping in on this thread.
I have two lamps close to each other, each switched by its own
stand-alone PIR. Looking at the diagram
(http://wiki.diyfaq.org.uk/index.php/..._multiple_PIRs)
could I could link them by running a single cable between the
switched live on the PIRs? Or have I misunderstood the diagram?
TIA


That would work. Just 2 gotchas:
1. they both need to be on the same fuse/mcb, which they usually are
2. each needs to handle the total lighting load, which usually they can.
