Mains electricity question...

Hi
First time poster. Doing a DIY project building open cupboards with lights inside. I am trying to have the lights EITHER switched from a single wall switch whereby they will all come on OR an individual light only coming on from a mini PIR sensor. See the diagram attached. At the moment, if I was to wire it up, all of the lights would come on from either the switch or any of the PIR sensors. If it was DC I would put a diode between each LED driver and the switch but this is running on 220V AC. Is there any way to get it working how I want? I could put a separate LED driver in each branch but that is quite an expensive way of doing things.
Thanks
Ben

I recall seeing some PIR lights that have the ability to come fully 'on' by flicking the mains switch on/off (twice) otherwise they work as ordinary PIR controlled lights.

Maybe have a look for the operating instructions of the PIRs you have in mind - they may already have this facility.
