If you are unable to connect your Philips Hue Light Bulb or Phillips Hue Bridge or Philips Hue LED Light Strip, you can do the following easy steps. You can use this method if you Lost Serial on Phillips Hue Light Strip, or Missing Phillips Hue Light Strip Serial.  Use this method if you have exercised all other options.

1. Philips Hue Dimmer Switch Accessory Hack - Use the dimmer switch hardware by holding it 1 to 5cm (1/4" to 1") to the bulb with missing serial. Hold both buttons at the same time, and the light will flash.  The light is now hard-reset and ready to be detected. Use this same method with Philips Hue LED Light Strip by holding it near the small plastic encasement attached the light strip it self.

2. Lamp Finder - This software runs on your laptop and requires Javascript to be downloaded and running.  This is the easiest and BEST method to identifying Philips Hue LED Light Strip lost serial and to perform hard-reset.  Follow the instructions at this link: https://philipshue.com/lamp-finder-for-mac/ (This is unofficial software, so proceed at own risk.)

Answer

Not on the 100w bulbs only a 11 character and a 5 character model number all answers saying otherwise are referring to the 60w bulbs

Yes, it is printed on the bulb itself. I have had to use the serial number for 3 of the 15 bulbs I've purchased. Very random!

Answer

Your Phillips Hub should recognize the new bulb and cause it to blink once when recognized. 
Yes, each bulb has a unique serial number, and you can enter it manually if you choose. I just use the app and let the Hue Hub find the newly added bulbs.
