Mines in two parts:

Bulbman is a simple yet sort of slightly inconspicuous way that says a bulb collector .

256 is 2 to the power of 8 and powers of two is what i have used for most of my usernames in the past.

May change it to Mad Max as the theater teacher/director on the play/musical called me as a nickname whenever i did tech work on stage lights for the shows.

I was obsessed with the RSW fixture at the time, I also LOVE the state of Maine. The Maine area code is 207, hence my username CreeRSW207. I am thinking on some Incandescent or HID name though.

Just realised my entry on this topic is out of date as I changed my username. It's obvious now, really, I love SOX lamps and the wattage I have most of is 35W so there it is.

Simple, a bit like me  :P

Mine is very simple, its just two words that rhyme. I didn't really put too much effort into it so I just came up with LightsDelight.

Mine one comes from a random nickname that I invented for a game (Xbinary), then it changed to Binarix and then I added my favorite number, and it ended like this: (Binarix128)

In Finnish, Make is a common nickname for a man. I am also called by it. I just didn’t think it also meant something in English...

Mine is pretty self explanatory, it's my name. The 125 is from a 125w mercury lamp I got at the time, a less common wattage in the US but oddly used a bit in Canada.

Years ago when I got accepted into the IBEW(electricians union) training program my job title was "Inside Wireman". About that time the internet was becoming mainstream and I was so excited about finally becoming an electrician that I created the internet name Wireman31. When I joined LG I just simply dropped the 31. That's the number of the street I grew up on.

Don’t know anymore why I call myself monkeyface.
In fact I have a couple of nicknames depending on with who I am around but nobody calls me monkeyface. My nickname for those folks on the festival ground I work for was and still is Sparky and Powerdanger.

I always loved railroad crossings and recall in days gone by, the signs used to swing back and forth. Also, early long haul truckers had wigwags that would drop in front of them that they had no air for the air brakes. The term always made me laugh, so there it is!
