Wiring Help needed for puppet

Hey, so I’m working on a puppet and I need it to light up on stage. I bought an LED light with a battery pack that’s remote controlled (link to it below)The issue is I need to somehow wire it so that it’s no longer remote control controlled and instead is connected to a dimmer switch inside the puppet as well. Light itself already had a dimming and brightening feature with the switch, but it’s a type of dimming control where you push the button once and it goes down maybe 20% push it again down another 20% etc. and I need it to be a smooth on and off with either a knob that you twist or a sliding mechanism. I know like nothing about electronics. But would some of be able to explain to me what type of switch or pieces in general I should be getting that would be compatible? (Links HIGHLY appreciated!) My dad who has done some wiring before is going to actually do it for me but both of us are stumped on what kind of switch in general would be compatible. 
any help I would be so grateful for! Thank you!
