Outdoor solar lighting is low voltage and doesn't present any danger. Though you should be careful regardless of the voltage level, especially if you have a pacemaker.
Another reason why outdoor solar lighting is a good option is because it doesn't use any electricity. Here's how it works. Small solar panels connected to the lights charge internal batteries during the day. Then at night, either by a sensor that triggers at dark or by a switch you control, the lights come on to illuminate its area. The batteries run down at night and then are recharged the next day. The batteries of outdoor solar lighting can even recharge during overcast days. What a way to take it easy on the environment and your wallet.
