incandescent dimmer with remote input

The search engines aren't helping me out much here.

I'm wondering if any of you have seen an incandescent dimmer (120vac) that has 0-10vdc control, or maybe that could adjust dimming based on a low voltage contact closure? This dimmer would be located in a remote location, not in a switch box. I've found some solid state relays that take 0-10vdc, but they output voltage is 20-300vac. I've also found ss relays with output voltages topping out around 120vac, but they have odd control voltages (by odd, not a standard I'm familiar with.)
 
The better question is what are you trying to control?  There's lots of ways to control a dimming load remotely.  What do you have in place now with the 0-10vdc voltage range?
 
Thanks @RAL, that looks about right. 0-10vdc is a standard control voltage. There's plenty of LED drivers & florescent ballasts that accept 0-10vdc. I'm surprised by the lack of incandescent dimmer units.
 
Lutron makes a number of dimmers that do 0-10vdc control, mainly for LED and Fluorescent lighting loads.  
 
But, again, what is it you're trying to control?  There may be several ways to approach what you're after.
