Default Wiring Wickes security light

Mine aint a Wickes, but I think they are all pretty similar.

To have it on all the time you switch it off and then on again within three
seconds. To have it off all the time, well that's probably a bit obvious. If
you want to do this from two locations I would think a standard two way
light switch arrangement to facilitate the on/off routine would do it.

I've just got a 150W PIR security light from Wickes, but the "manual"
(sorry, I mean scrap of paper) isn't very helpful. I can see how to
wire it up to run on automatic all the time, with an isolation switch
to turn it off completely, but I want to know how to set it up for
manual override. The "manual" says "see later sections for manual
override wiring" but these later sections don't seem to exist. Which?
Guide just says "follow the instructions"!

Ideally I'd like to be able to override it manually from two different
places, which involves the added complication of two way swithing,
although I don't even know if this is possible atm.
