The first thing that You will need is a completely isolated FET-Driver.
This will not work for high-frequencies.

When the Gate-Voltage is generated by the "Photovoltaic" FET-Driver
both FETs will turn On simultaneously.

Then You need to Power the LED with standard Phase-Chopper Circuitry,
similar to that used with a Triac-Lamp-Dimmer, or Motor-Speed-Control.

You can also use LOW-FREQUENCY PWM Chopping, ( ~200hz max ).
This is because this type of FET-Driver is very "slow" compared to standard FET-Drivers.
