Probably because your pigment is rgbt <1,1,1,something>, so when a light
source is added the cone is no longer black. Try <0,0,0, something>.
However, I'm suspicious if it will still work when you add media, since the
transparency value of 2.5 may have unexpected side effects.

Don't knock it 'till you try it. It will probably solve your solution nicely
and if it's a constant media without a density, you might find that it
renders very fast. Also, if you're going to have transparent objects in the
arena, you might just find yourself dealing with the same problem again
anyway.
