Since the Beginning: Comlite Systems

Since the Beginning: Comlite Systems


For the last 10 years, support from companies like Comlite Systems has been crucial to Dentaltown’s success. In celebrating our 10th anniversary, we also celebrate these companies that have consistently supported us since the beginning.

Comlite Systems has been providing light signaling systems to healthcare professionals since 1983 and has more than 9,000 users worldwide. Headquartered in Atlanta, Georgia, with a second location in Sun Valley, California, Comlite Systems manufactures, markets, sells and services its industry-leading light signaling communication systems. The System 4000 is the company’s fifth generation light signaling system, which, along with all previous models, are serviced and supported on a toll-free number at no charge.

The Comlite LCS4000 offers a quiet, discreet way to communicate messages ranging from patient arrivals, important phone calls, and notification of hygiene checks to needing an assistant or emergency situations. A unit is placed at the front desk and in each operatory or open bay, and other areas such as private offices, staff lounges, labs, sterilization areas and consultation rooms. All units have the same functionality so there is no "master unit" at the front desk and all units can send and receive messages. When light buttons representing a message are lit on one unit, all the other units in the system light up the same way. The user labels each button to fit their particular office by utilizing a set of adhesive labels provided with each unit. Pressing any of the buttons one time will produce steady light, while pressing twice will result in a blinking light. This increases the number of possible combinations using the 15-button format. A chime is sent with each message as an audible signal to the users. There is a volume control on each unit so the chime can be set at a level appropriate for each location within the office. A handheld infrared remote control is available allowing all system functions to be operated from up to 35 feet away. This helps with placement of the units because the focus can be on where they can be easily seen and not where they can be easily touched. For offices that need room or chair sequencing in an open bay, the system has a sequencing function that indicates which room or chair to go to next at the press of a button.

Comlite’s LAS4000 allows users to communicate using combinations of light buttons or by voice. Voice communications can be directed to a single room, a group of rooms or the entire office and is compatible with previous 15-button Comlite systems. Also, the LCS4100 and the LAS4100 systems are designed for offices under construction or renovation and can be installed using flush mount wall brackets.

Over the last decade, Dentaltown has had a major impact on the way Comlite does business. With the advent of the Internet, and more specifically Dentaltown.com, the biggest change Comlite’s experienced has been in advertising. Much of the company’s support has moved from print to the Internet and e-blasts.

"I think Dentaltown’s online community helped to propel this shift in where prospects go for their information," says Comlite Systems Vice President of Sales and Marketing John Grigsby. "It has given dental professionals an alternative to more traditional ways of obtaining information on techniques, equipment, procedures, etc. Townies expect their information to come electronically — which gives us access to prospects who might not see us otherwise."
