  Spotlight confusion

I'm trying to use a spotlight, and getting some results that aren't what 
I expected.  Please forgive me for dropping a code fragment in here...

	light_source {
		<0, -3.4515, -1.701>
		color White
		spotlight
		radius 40
		falloff 60
		tightness 0
		point_at <0, -3.1989, -60>
		}

I expected to see a cone of illumination along the surface of my 
model... and I did, sort of... but the intensity of the light was much 
lower than I expected, and instead of reaching all the way to the 
point_at location, it faded within ten units of the source.

Can someone suggest how to turn up the intensity?
