How to get this spotlight effect?

I’m aiming to get the effect on the left where the lights seems like a true spotlight. My attempt was on the right, it looks somewhat like a spotlight, but it doesn’t have that light-like effect that the light on the left has, and it looks more like images, especially when it clips through the floor.

I think the spotlight effect us made out of:

  • cone mesh that have a linear gradient textures on it’s sides to get the effect of an “actual” spot-light.
  • A cone mesh only with a transparency-adjusted property.

But I agree on the first bullet because as the spot-light stretches the color of the lights becames transparent also. So it must be a gradient.

This is only my opinion, correct me if I’m wrong.
