It looks like those are fluorescents! With (it appears) two on each side, they would have been too bright, which is probably why they didn't produce a lot of them.

These were called Pylon lights. Sold by two or three lighting companies including Revere. The were mounted on walls, tall poles (holding as many as three pylons)and in this case gas pumps. Also used as street lighting, drive-in lights, used car lots, parking lots and motels. You could get the motel version with the word "vacant" on it.

Nice 52 or 53 Hudson Hornet at the pump, the glory days of Marshal Teague.
