Default Brake Problem

Well since ive fitted my new brakes and bled the system the pedal seems to still drop too far but they do work once the foots down so ive been driving like this for the time being. However now, when braking with reasonable force, not locking up or anything, but general braking, the handbrake light comes on, or flickers...
Now this to me implies either fluid or air is causing the float in the resovoir to rise or whatever and cause the light to turn on, so is there still a serious amount of air in the system or what? Rather baffled with this one as i have bled all the brakes soo much and i dont know if it is still air.

Bled the brakes.. .well more like flushed the entire system through and the level is topped up But STILL the light flickers on and off. If it did it at random times id assume a fooked sensor, but its only when i brake
