Is there is any reason why 2 way switching wouldn't work for a PIR floodlight taking into account the PIR setting and the manual override mode??Obviously it would be wired correctly!
Just yes or no. No abuse please!

No, no reason why it won't work. 2 way switching to override terminal will allow manual switching at one, two, or more switches and PIR will function as normal if the switched line is dead.

yes only if its a stand alone pir with perm to it, if its build in to the fitting then making it 2way it aint gonna work with dead switch line.

Of course you can wire 2 way override switching to a pir security light!

Only issue, especially being 2 way, you wont know if the light is lit by pir or by switch.

You will, if the light is lit by switch then as soon as the switch is pressed then the light will go out. If lit by PIR then pressing the switch will do nothing and you will know it is lit by pir so you would then return the switch back to its original position and let the light go out when the time expires.
