Potentiometer for town lights

I think I need to put a dimmer in my town lighting when I get it hooked back up and working. We always use to run the town lights off a separate transformer and now I have the lighting circuit on the KW. I have a siding buffer and whistling freight shed wired to the 14v circuit and it's a bit bright. The 6v circuit is too dim. I'm thinking that the lights in the rest of the buildings and the street lights need to be variable. 

What would be a good ohm range for a potentiometer in the street light circuit? Audio or linear taper, or doesn't matter?

now if only radio shacks weren't closed everywhere...
