your coil draws much less juice than 80 W.
I agree that little thingy should be pretty harmless to humans as
long as they don't get in contact with power supply. And even if they
do,20 mA low frequency shock wouldn't be fatal.Just painful.

20mA is more than enough current to induce ventricular fibrillation, depending upon the person getting shocked, how and where the shock is administered, and so on. Ventricular fibrillation, if not corrected immediately by a defibrillator, is fatal in all but the rarest of cases.
