This problem has gotten worse since I changed the oil and replaced the oil screen. The light used to just flicker >dimly at idle, now it shines brightly.Should I be worried about this? Your oil light should not flicker or come on at all, at idle or any other time, unless there is a problem. If the oil level is good and you are not running extremely hot, you may need to check the compression. I would be concerned this means your oil pressure is extremely low.
