    2 pir's with 20 lights in pvc singles

    I'm working in an office block and am wiring the shower rooms. I have 20 lights switched by 2 pirs. I'm just wondering would it work okay if I looped the switch wire out of the first Pir through all my lights and end it at the second Pir. Or do I need a direct link from Pir to Pir. Thanks
