Here is a solid state option: Max Dim

Specifications:
  • 12-35 volts @ 15 Amps
  • Ring Connectors
  • Controlled Output:
    0 to 12-35 VDC -  0 to 15A

Capacity:

  • 180 Watts @12 VDC
  • 360 Watts @24 VDC
  • 420 Watts @28 VDC
  • 525 Watts @35 VDC

 

Not exactly CSOB styling on the price but seemingly a very effective solid state dimmer.

 

Don't forget to replace as many of your incandescent post lights as possible with LEDs to reduce your current load (and the heat the rheostat has to dissipate) on the rheostat.
