Your cone isn't pointint at the right position.
While your spotlight points at <0,25,-20>, your
cone just points to <0,25,0>. Looks_like doesn't
rotate objects, it just uses them as defined.
And perhaps scaling isn't right, though I'm not
sure without a look at your scene. The cone's
end is only 2.5, but perhaps that is wanted...

Nick Holcomb had this problem:
