Apply the texture to your cone and use your desired UV coordinates. Now apply a vertex paint modifier to your light mesh.
Now select the bottom vertices of your light cone and apply the black vertex paint. This will help blend your edge and make it look like the light is fading out from its light source. Make sure the mesh has '2-Sided' applied under W3D Tab.
