I'd prefer numlock - kbd-numlock.

Well, that won't fix the issue I'm having, see below.

Ok, I understand that. But it happens that your code does not work! It
is always 255 (or will be 1 with the modifications you mention above).
input->ledbit is whether the LED exists or not, not its state, right?
Did your perhaps mean input->led in input_leds_brightness_get instead of
input->ledbit?
