Default 2 way PIR switch

I'm hoping to install 3 outside LED light fittings controlled by 2 PIR switches - all lights to come on if either of the switches triggers.
I've done a cursory search on t'internet but can't find any 2 way PIRs. The ones I've seen don't mention if they are 1 or 2 way so I presume they must be 1 way.
Can anyone recommend or post a link to a suitable 2 way PIR?

I don't think you want a "2 way PIR". (I'm not sure what that would
mean. If PR1 has turned the lights on then if PIR2 is also triggered it
turns them off?) Being pedantic, I think you want the lights on if
either PIR1 or PIR2 *or both* are triggered

You can do that by wiring two PIRs in parallel from the same supply.
But check the PIRs are OK being wired in parallel. It's a while since I
did this and at that time some weren't at all happy with a live "coming
back at them" (as it were).
