My approach right now is to call them binary outputs (bo) records



Welcome to the forum.

Yes, that sounds about right. 

You can use the ONAM and ZNAM fields of the BO record to name the two states which may convey that it is indeed a process variable that is either doing something (i.e., increase the brightness) or not. In EPICS, pretty much everything is a process variable.
