My oil light comes on after the engine is warm and when I stop at a light (at idle). Just had oil changed and used Ford filter same thing. Car runs fine, don't really think it has low pressure??? Is this a bad sensor??Thanks

Welcome to the forum!
It certainly could be a bad oil pressure switch. What you might want to do before just blindly replacing the switch would be to install a mechanical pressure gauge in place of the switch temporarily and check for oil pressure at warm idle.
