We have a garden footpath 16m from front door to garden gate with a shed near the gate.
I am looking for the following set-up:

a) an independent PIR sensor x2, one at each end of the circuit
b) these to operate 3-4 LED spikes or low level spots between the two
c) plus a floodlight to light the outside of the shed operated by the same PIR’s between the last light and one of the PIR’s
i.e. I want all the lights and the floodlight to come on at the same time when switched on from either end by either PIR.
d) if it was low voltage LED then also a transformer and any necessary accessories.

Can anyone please suggest any sources of a system like this? A kit maybe, plus add-ons? Nothing fancy or too up-market, I just want it to be weatherproof, durable and reliable! It's the separate PIR's that I'm struggling with. I'm not even sure if it's possible to get PIR's to act this way, as in effect 2 way light switches? I don't want to keep switching the system on and off but just leave it to operate by the PIR's after dusk. There is existing mains electricity outside and I would in effect be replacing an existing system.
Can you please suggest any specific products? Or a better way?
