I've tried breaking it down as much as I can, and combining it in different
ways but I can't seem to find a decent English translation for this guy.

> 光収容の倉庫  
>  _hikari shuuyou_ no souko

I italicize the first part of his full artist name because の倉庫 is often
dropped, even in some of his album covers. Moreover, I don't think an English
version of his name has ever been used on YouTube, Nicovideo, or elsewhere.
Most any reference will say "Hikari", "Hikari Syuyo", "Hikari Shuyo", "Hikari
Shuuyo", "Hikari Shuuyou", ... (you get the point).

So let me demonstrate what I've tried so far:

> 光 (light)  
>  収容 (accommodation; reception; housing)  
>  倉庫 (storehouse; warehouse; godown)  
>  (many thanks to
> [jisho.org](http://jisho.org/search/%E5%85%89%E5%8F%8E%E5%AE%B9%E3%81%AE%E5%80%89%E5%BA%AB))

Which I interpret could be a few of the following:

> _Warehouse of Light_ (irks me because it ignores 収容)  
>  _Light Storage Warehouse_ (awkward and makes "light" seem like an
> adjective)  
>  _Lighthouse's Storehouse_ (doesn't technically mean "lighthouse")

I feel like I'm close to what it means, but I'm really struggling to find the
right words to properly translate this to English. Could someone who's more
native to Japanese help me out? Thank you!

question
meaning word-requests
What does this artist's name mean? 光収容の倉庫
Since 光収容の倉庫 is a proper noun, it should not be "translated". If you just want
to understand what it means, please read on.

  * 光収容 is a technical term, which is explained in [this Wikipedia article](https://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E5%85%89%E5%8F%8E%E5%AE%B9). 光収容 basically refers to "bundling" multiple slow and legacy connections using optic fibers. 光 in this context is actually 光ファイバー (optic fiber).
  * 倉庫 is just "storehouse".

According to
[this](https://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E5%85%89%E5%8F%8E%E5%AE%B9_\(%E9%9F%B3%E6%A5%BD%E5%AE%B6\)),
光収容の倉庫 was named as such simply because his internet connection was using 光収容.
(So apparently 倉庫 figuratively refers to his home/room.) In other words, his
apartment building was not
