The steering diodes are already in the FETs, just tie the FETs in series
with gates together and sources together.

However the $$ of that is pretty high so I would imagine it would be for
mansion lighting and not theatrical lighting. High voltage FETs with low
on resistance are not cheap and driving them isolated is also spendy.

If the original poster would give details about the application we could
either sympathize or tear him apart :-)
