new enclosure on the way rheostat question

hey guys, so I have a question (and yes I've looked at the how to's on wiring your own rheostat, but I'm not comfortable with my own ability with electronics nor do I have any electrician friends)

I'm currently housing all of my snakes (3 ball pythons, 1 burmese python, 1 boa constrictor, 1 gaboon viper, 1 monocled cobra) in individual glass tanks appropriate for their size, using a hygrotherm controller and reptifogger to keep humidity at the right percentage, and using heat bulbs on a lamp dimmer switch to control the heat

the enclosure that I'm having made is going to have 8 separate enclosures within it, each of which will be 48 long, 12 tall, and 24 wide, with built in lighting/heating. now these lights are coming with a low medium and high setting but with me venturing into breeding ball pythons in the near future I'll need a bit finer control than that and the dimmer switches I've found and have been using have such a short slider that I'm having a tough time controlling the wattage to the degree that I need (pun not intended)


does anybody on here know where I can **order** a large knob rheostat, preferably even with a percentage display along the knob, so I can have very fine control over the wattage going to my bulbs? I'd gladly build my own rheostats but like I said I'm just not savvy enough to be doing that sort of work
