oil light comes on when engine idle on my ford ka?

My oil light keeps coming on after a while, when my engine idles at a set of lights for example and i have checked my oil and it is ok well it has got slighty to much oil in, and i am unsure what to do next.

Oil light is a warning of low oil PRESSURE not low oil level.
When was the oil and filter last changed, and was it filled with the correct grade and quality of oil?
Has the engine done very high mileage, or been left too long between services?

you need to get oil pressure checked with an accurate gauge to see if its low [which makes light come on].if it is then worn bearings or oil pump could be worn!
