You sure it's the handbrake light??
Do you have wear indicators on your pads?
These could of ring damaged whilst doing the bearing

For future reference if anybody has this problem and it wasn't fluid related try this.. Firstly make sure your handbrake is secure by tightening the 2 bolts inside the car under the carpet just by the base of the handbrake and then get under the car and tighten the handbrake cable.. These fixed the issue for me.
